Definitely would like to hear some answers.
OP you said board 1 we have range disadvantage and 2-3 advantage. What were the equities and evs of the 3 situations?
I would think board 1: Equity and nut advantage roughly equal but rfi has position so will probably have like 60+ % EV
board2: eq advantage fairly big but position subtracts substantial ev
board3: eq advantage not so big and position subtracts substantial ev
As far as sizing and nut advantage
Board 1:
No nut advantage. Why overbet? Is it because our betting frequency is so low due to equity being so close? Value is urgent because we wont be able to valuebet most turns/rivers?
Board 2: We have all the super nut combos and a good chunk of semi nut combos that are still beaten by the frequent AQ AJs ATs in cold callers range we have a lot of hands that want to put money in the pot for value that are can still be beaten by ip cold caller.
Board 3: Depending on the range of the opener and caller but generally ip should be doing well in equity(condensed range that contains less air) and ev(because of position) but contains non of the nut combos that the pfr has.
The pfr has alot of air and equity advantage is probably marginal compared to AAK flop. Id think the closer eq makes oop bet less on this board than board2. In addition the amount of air pfr has in suited aces, offsuit AT+ and connectors combined with all the nut combos probably makes this a highly polarized nuts/air vs bluffcatcher spot where oop highest ev comes from maximizing number of bluffs, their fold equity and being able to bomb away with JJ+ being the immortal nuts.
These are just my ideas and would like a wise man to clarify how equity and ev, position and nut combos affect sizing. So far I think equity determines how often we bet. Nut concentration and polarity of range increases sizing, but still somewhat confused about it all
Thx
